for the same task, (re-)allocated under the same conditions. I'd be interested to know what changed.

For stock applications, the Scheduler does an approximation of projected flops at about line 370 in sched_version.cpp which causes that early adjustment. Note that since the projected flops is sent to the client as <flops> for the app_version, it immediately affects all tasks assigned to be done with that app_version.

The astropulse tasks are no joke. ( 40-50 hours) Compared to the regular 2 hour projects. Although, bring them on.

Back in 1999 we were aiming at 150 hours for the jobs that now take 2 (and do more processing.) When we were starting to do Astropulse, we were aiming for jobs taking a month. Gotta love that Moore's Law. @SETIEric

Yeah, I'm still trying to dig up the symptoms for the zero credit bit. I think it was a bad BOINC client version requesting 0 credit for anonymous platform (which always comes in as the low bidder, and so the wingman gets 0 credit, too). But it's possible that it's in the validator somewhere, too. So I'll dig a bit more over the weekend.

Regarding the MacOS version, I have a working powerpc version, but I've run into some snags with the x86 version. I can't even test the powerpc version in beta because people with MacOS 10.5 x86 and earlier will get the powerpc version and will run it in powerpc emulation. The would be bad. I have to release the x86 version first and then I can release powerpc when the correction factors start being applicable.

Then there's GPU versions, but there's only so many hours in the day. @SETIEric

I am attached their and will get work as I find it. I only have a C2D so it won't be a lot or fast but I will switch to asking for Astropulse on Beta.

Edit I know I asked for Astropulse on OSX so I have switched to only ask for the new version of Astropulse on Beta to help test faster. Thank you for your time and effort supporting OSX. I have 10 projects on my little machine so my RAC on SETI Beta is not the highest but you got it all to test the betas.

Unfortunately it is not possible to switch to only asking for Astropulse v6 work at Beta. You have to check the "accept work from other applications" option. The good news is that when there are AP v6 tasks available, you'll get some even though there are 170000 SaH v7 tasks also ready to send.

Eric, might it be possible to get the selection updated during the Tuesday outage?

Yeah I have Astropulse only check but ended up with a V7 MB instead. so looks like the first one I could run is in a day or 2 depending how work requests work out. I never kill a WU that I am given so looks like I'm out for a while.
